Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Bisham Town scored three goals from 2.19 xG, outperforming the chance-quality estimate by 0.81. Budbury scored once from 0.83 xG, a smaller over-performance of 0.17. The figures support the result: Bisham Town produced 11 shots, seven on target, while Budbury managed five shots and two on target. The match was not a matter of possession being monopolised; the hosts held 51 per cent to the visitors’ 49. Instead, Bisham Town made more of its opportunities in front of goal, turning an early setback into a two-goal win. Budbury won seven corners to the hosts’ four and recorded 14 dribbles against four, but those routes forward did not translate into a comparable volume of shots. The ledger does not supply the nature of each chance, so the sensible reading is limited: the hosts created more and finished more efficiently, while Budbury found less reward for its activity.

• No Budbury players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early sequence gave Budbury the lead and left Bisham Town with a card inside two minutes, but the hosts did not let the opening shape the final account. Duarte levelled nine minutes after Pablo Godoy’s goal, and Augusto Batista put Bisham Town ahead after the break. The match’s other notable thread was its discipline: five yellow cards arrived, three to Budbury, with the final one for the visitors coming at 45'. Neither side received a red card.

Duarte supplied the decisive finishing, while the available ratings offer no basis for naming additional standout performers. The team figures point to a win built less on possession than on getting shots on target: Bisham Town had a narrow share of the ball, but a clear edge in attempts and accuracy. Budbury remained busier in dribbles and corners, a reminder that activity and danger are related, though not obliged to travel together. The 3 - 1 scoreline stands comfortably alongside the chance estimates, and Bisham Town’s recovery from conceding first was the defining work of the afternoon.
